What Causes Headache And Rapid Heart Rate?

My boyfriend is not feeling well, he is clammy and has had a dull headache. His head feels slightly warm. He also is stating that his heart is beating a little fast. He drinks alot of coffee during the day but today waited about 2 hours after he got up. He hasnt been eating well, greasy foods and sometimes just once a day but claims he ate about 5 times today. He also smokes cigarrettes, but has had only two today. What could br wrong with him?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that his symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder or anxiety.

For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests in order to investigate a possible metabolic disorder:
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

If these tests result normal, I would recommend consulting with a psychologist or psychiatrist in order to help improve his situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
